Review of Terwilliger plaza

I give Terwilliger Plaza the very best rating....5 stars. I have lived here 5 years, and have never regretted my move from the Pearl District here in Portland. I have a lovely studio apartment with lots of light. The windows are wide, opening up fantastic views. I never looked for retirement anywhere else, as I knew of the good reputation here. The people are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, fully engaged in the many activities that are offered...all covered by your maintenance fee. Housekeeping twice a month and linen service are pluses! In my Studio Apartment, I have a BIG stove, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher, and I do most of my own cooking. Taking and paying for your meals here is NOT required, so the cost of living is kept down. The dining room and the deli are excellent choices when I do not wish to cook. I take advantage of the grocery runs, the tours to outlying places, and the exercise classes, including pool aerobics and prime movers. I no longer have a car, so I use the #8 bus (right out in front,) the streetcar and the MAX to travel downtown, or I walk. The Sat. Market is at PSU...easy walking distance. Then, there are all the cultural activities in the downtown. Downsizing was not that hard, in fact it is a relief! I even have storage on the ground floor for the things that I don't keep in the apartment. I truly feel that I am LIVING FORWARD. I invite you to come and visit!
